Friday Musical Interlude - Amok

Today's Friday Musical Interlude is brought to you by German group Ledernacken (German for Leatherneck) with their weird but catchy song Amok from 1983. The music of Ledernacken was a mix of electronic, hard rock and African rhythm with lyrics that were meant to be ironically violent and sexist (or so I am led to believe). Since the lyrics are predominantly German, I don't pay much attention to them anyway - not speaking German and all. But beyond the controversy of the lyrics, this is simply a catchy song.
